Gary Combs and his silver 2003 C5 went five rounds to win event #6 of the 2007 West Coast Corvette Challenge against runner-up Mark Heekin in his 2000 C5 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway during the Jerry's Nugget Championship Racing Series. The final had a .0672 margin of victory with Gary running a 14.091 on a 14.07 dial and Mark running a 13.856 on a 13.80 dial.

We had a half-hour of corvette only runs prior to final two time trials. The day started hot - in the low 100s, but cooled off as the evening wore on.

Cathy Wilson (2002 C5 corvette) was the semi-finalist today, with Mark Heekin moving into the finals with a bye run.

Jim Ferrin earned the WCCC sponsored trophy for best first round reaction time with a .010 reaction time. James Ranney earned the WCCC sponsored Closest-to-Dial trophy with a 13.56 run on a 13.50 dial in.

Congratulations to first round winners Cathy Wilson, Clayton Brombers, Mike Sollis, Mark Heekin, Steven Bishop, Phil Reese, Henry Mynatt, Doug Carter, and Jim Ferrin

Thanks again to Las Vegas Corvettes Association, Sin City Vettes, Hot Nevada Vettes, and the LVMS crew. It's always the highlight of the WCCC season.
